Check out this JW's blog...

I assure you, though, that if congregation elders were to pay me a visit and the entire Dawkins-Harris-Hitchings trinity was lying on my coffee table, I would not be in trouble. You are overplaying the "mind-control" card.

My first reaction is that he's lying. My second thought is...man I wish I was in his hall! If the elders wouldn't say a thing about having atheist books then God know what else they won't care about! Here's his website: http://carriertom.typepad.com/sheep_and_goats

Reading through this guy's blog makes me think he's set himself up as a grass-roots PR machine for the society. If he's telling the truth, then he's using his setup in an extraordinarily lenient congregation in order to give the public the impression that all congregations would accommodate his eccentricities. Notice in almost every one of his posts he's in the "we're not a cult" defense mode. Now that I look it says he lives in Rochester, NY. I wonder if he's a relation to one of the higher-ups in Brooklyn. That would explain his apparent ability to openly read material that opposes doctrine with impunity.
